h_mean: Harmonic Mean

In jsdeherrera/shinyStats:

Description

This is a function taken from the blog Statistics on aiR that calculates the harmonic mean of a set of numbers. Along with the gm_mean and mean it provides the three most basic functions of "average." Typically, the arithmetic mean should be used for linear relationships, the geometric mean should be used for exponential or multiplicative relationships, and the harmonic mean should be used for reciprocal relationships.

Usage

h_mean(x)

Arguments

x	The quantitative field from which to calculate the harmonic mean.

Value

Returns a numeric which is the harmonic mean
